Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-03 00:00:00 Fahad Alkhaldi This literally gave me all the feels. It's stunning, beautiful, informative, entertaining, smart, sad, frightening and downright scary all at once. Basically, this book contains lots of wonderfully illustrated infographics on women's live all over the world. But it's so much more than pretty diagrams only. The various chapters (such as "Health", "Birthrights", "Work" and "Poverty") look deeply into certain issues. Men are a big part of this book, too, often in contrast to women's conditions. Moreover, it's a work on general urgent problems such as discrimination, globalisation, climate change, migration, concerning both men and women - seriously, there is so much more in here than I'd thought. Plus, it's highly intersectional. Most topics don't regard women as one fixed group only but go into details by comparing classes, ethnicities, sexuality, age, living conditions (urban vs. rural), wealth and so on. Highly inspiring. I learned a lot reading this, way more than I'd hoped for. Some things were astonishing in a positive way (like the fact I mentioned in an update, on France being the first country legalising homosexuality as early as 1791), some were very scary and sad like: - the marry-your-rapist-laws. Some countries offer the rapist to go scot free if he marries his victim. THERE ARE NO WORDS. - the fact that 17 of the U.S. states do not have a legal minimum age of marriage, which means Afghanistan has a tougher law on child marriage than parts of the United States. One "argument" why the legal age of marriage should remain low/not defined is that otherwise, it would increase the number of children born out of wedlock due to so many teenage pregnancies. Way to solve that problem, jeez (I'd invest in more, better and earlier sex ed, but what do I know). - the fact that each CEO of the 5 largest fashion brands earnmore money within 4 (!) days (!!) than an average women working in a Bangaldesh garnment factory earns in her lifetime. Overall a higly enjoyable and highly recommended read with lots of information to think and talk about (I feel like I read half the book out loud to my partner because I had to share). Plus, it's also very beautiful - a win on all accounts. Note: I read the most recent (pub. October 2018), revised 5th edition of this wonderful publication.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-03-06 00:00:00 Dennis Belotti I loved this book because it taught me SO much that I didn't know! I have been very into the idea of gender equality my whole life, but I never knew how bad it was in some places. This encouraged me to stand up for women's rights even more! 💗
